Social Sciences programs
The Social Sciences team brings together a distinctive combination of research, theory and practice to make sense of and respond to critical challenges of our time. Our academic experts teach across the areas of sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and human services. They engage students in social research that informs social policy, planning and service delivery, the media and politics.
- Students have the opportunity to contribute to problem-solving in the Bachelor of Social Science.
- At post-graduate levels, students can advance their academic and applied research skills through the Master of Social Change and Development or the Graduate Certificate in Social Change and Development.
